So the they designated her and Roddy as the 2 vets...even though neither works regularly, which means they don't value vets. Hey, give them credit, Roddy is in the vet role…in NXT UK where there are already a lot of vets… If I was a tenured talent in WWE 'Developmental' I dare say I'd be fine going to NXT UK. A couple days per month and maybe a week overall to film vignettes, etc. No oversight from Stamford. Focus on wrestling with some nice video packages to hype/build the character element IMO better than a lot of 2.0. Still feels like NXT of old most the time... recent Isla Dawn hijinks aside.

And I get that but the main problem I have is that the company itself have been losing a lot of veteran talents to releases and free agency so if I were them, I’d go all hands on deck and finding as many people as possible you have left to help in developmental instead going to a part of the company that doesn’t need them.

Katana Chance could also be Kacy Catanzaro. Same initials. would fit into the american ninja background for her as well as same initials and that Kacy is her real name so it checks all the boxes. that would lean to alba fyre being kayden carter since i expect both to be called up together.

I agree with you there. It would make sense for Strong to be used as a vet on 2.0. Even guys like Bate and Seven. I suspect the reason for bringing A-Kid, Pretty Deadly and Ben Carter over is they are young and fit the desired age but have more experience and are not green, thus can provide both youth and experience. Still should not replace vets though, however I do wonder if they are taking the younger/experience route instead.

I'm taking the Dakota thing as BS cause as mistery said, no one is reporting it. I will ask the comment person for a source out of curiosity and expect to hear Twitter or Facebook. It could mean Kacy or Io is Katana. But Katana could be a name for someone not on television yet. I could see Kacy getting to use her real name per NBC/Ninja Warrior relationship. But the last name I could see too being too 'difficult to spell' in Vince's eyes for their audience. I'll be curious what happens to Kayden Carter. Time will tell what awaits Dakota next in 2.0; Wendy team Part II or Level Up vet? I mean just because Kacy might be getting a new name doesn't mean she is getting called up. Also I'm pretty sure what's going to happen with Wendy Choo is she'll lose to Mandy, and then go back to tagging with Dakota to go after the tag titles. That is has been my guess ever since Dakota lost the title match. Wendy will lose to Mandy and then her and Dakota settle back into tag title contention and actually winning them. Cora will win the title off of Mandy.

Cora will win the title off of Mandy. Which is a problem in its own right. Because Cora is so not ready to be champion. She's not over, she's below average in the ring, and I don't even think she has a finisher.

She didn't get to execute it. But considering Punk and Lee are her idols, it fits. I think she did it as Elayna Black.

I'm pretty certain Alba Fyre is KLR. Fyre goes with her having red hair and also apparently Alba is a popular patriotic girl name in Scotland, where she is from, as it is the Gaelic term for the country: nameberry.com/babyname/alba/girlKatana Chance I can see being either Kacy or Io. As mentioned with Kacy it's the same initials and goes with her being on American Ninja Warrior. I can see it being Io too with her being Japanese and them liking to stereotype a lot.

Yeah I figure Alba Fyre can't be anyone else. That is a chaotic redhead name if there has ever been one.

I think she did it as Elayna Black. With how slender she is I don't know if Cora is physically strong enough to use that as finisher. I haven't seen anything she's done in ring to indicate that anyways. Seems like her whole offense is rollups and aerial stuff. I don't know if I could even see her doing it on women like Mandy or Natalya who are somewhat short (harder to get underneath) and are also a good bit thicker then Cora is.

Even though I don't really watch anymore, I was very happy to see KLR succeed go full-time in America.
"Alba Fyre" though... Jesus that's terrible as a name, but "Alba Fire" would be a perfectly fine nickname. Justcall her "The Alba Fire" Kayleigh whatever surname you want, and you're pretty much grand. I don't think the name changes are neccessarily a problem, it feels like the problem is they overthink it. There's a principle in software engineering that's very apt for creativity; keep it simple stupid.

To end the speculation PW Insider reports Katana Chance is Kacy and KLR will be Alba Fyre. No word if they are getting call-ups.

Well Io dodges a bullet on that one although makes me wonder now is Kayden Karter getting renamed to or is she basically on the outs now and They are gonna try and push Kacy as a singles star. I assume with the name change that KLR is getting the call up.

Katana Chance is such an utterly shit name. Go ahead and rename Aichner to Glock Fuggedaboutit while you're at it.
That said I'm fine with it if it leads to Drew McIntyre falling madly in love with her.

They just seem to be switching everyone away from their real names because they can't copyright those.
